Once two studies are linked, there are certain considerations that you need to take into account when working with the linked studies:
- Only users with Manage Forms permissions can see the Study link option from the Study Design tab. This right is necessary in both the test and production studies.
- The linked test study cannot be set to Live, and the status option in the Settings tab is disabled.
- The type of the two linked studies cannot be modified, and the Type option in the Settings tab is disabled.
- The linked production study structure cannot be edited. It is only possible to export the structure in the linked production study.
- Linked studies cannot be archived: to archive a linked study, you will need to unlink the study first.
